#Mumbai is grappling with a bout of respiratory ailments as the #AQI of city has been poor for more than 3 months.A haze of dust & smoke—now hangs over Mumbai as construction & multiple infrastructure projects have added to air pollution.
With this Air Quality Action Forum Needs Assessment Report, we’ll be able to bring in tremendous solutions. Air pollution must be mitigated with actionable solutions, participation from all stakeholders and accountability linked to data. #AirWeShare

"Humanity’s war on nature is ultimately a war on ourselves.
It’s time for the world to adopt a far-reaching biodiversity framework — a true peace pact with nature — and deliver a green, healthy future for all."
"We are losing biodiversity at a rate unparrelled in human history." Global wildlife populations have sunk over 60% since 1970.
We are destroying ourselves and taking nature with us.
Time to protect people and the planet.

This is our plea to Iranian authorities to release #NiloufarBayani and 7 other conservationists imprisoned. All eight environmental activists were devoted to protecting their country’s wildlife. Wildlife conservation is not a crime. #Iran
It has been 5 years since our former @UNEP colleague #NiloufarBayani was imprisoned in #Iran. Taking note of pardons recently issued by Iranian authorities, I renew my plea for her release. Env. conservationists are critical to making #PeaceWithNature.

Road dust makes up 2/3rd of particles in Mumbai's air. Rapid addition of high-rises and highways in last decade, has made Mumbai's Air Quality is worse than Delhi's!

To have a chance of minimizing further irreparable damage, we have to choose: either we safeguard living conditions for all future generations, or we let a few very fortunate people maintain their constant, destructive search to maximize immediate profits.
What is the interplay between individual actions and systems change for climate and environmental goals?
I’m so looking forward to moderating this panel with @SejalMehta06 and @deespeak on Sunday at @kgafest. Bombay friends, please come through!
No more excuses.
No more greenwashing.
No more bottomless greed of the fossil fuel industry and its enablers.
2023 must be a year of game-changing #ClimateAction.
#Mangroves form a barrier against erosion, provide a haven for wildlife & help fight 🥊#ClimateBreakdown. Yet these vital wetland ecosystems are under threat.
Socho Na, an anthem for clean air inspires individuals to imagine a pollution free environment in which they are healthy and happy!

Mumbai apparently has 12000 high rise projects under construction, fervent roadworks underway, metro under construction all causing a significant rise in air pollution.
Air purifiers won’t fix this. Enforcement of construction guidelines will.
At the current rate, it may take hundreds of years before women & girls have the same rights as men.
The world cannot wait this long.
We need gender equality, everywhere, now.

GOOD EVENING WORLD!
A very hectic day... A grand reception in Leh after my #ClimateFast for #6thScheduleForLadakh to #SaveLadakh, its #Glaciers, people & culture.
I'm told this was the largest gathering ever in Leh despite the cold.
Will post Video soon.
